What to do if you get burnt?

Despite all our tests and precautions, burns can occur in any patient (except for those with a very light skin all year long). Some areas are specially affected, such as the inside of the thighs, in which friction always generates a bit more melanin, or the anterior tibia, the top of the knee, the calf; the areas exposed to the sun when walking.

Sometimes, patients do not expose themselves to the sun, but the simple fact of driving a few hours in the beginning of the summer wearing shorts or light clothes may suffice to be burnt…on the right knee, located right under the windshield.

The burns only occur on the most superficial skin cells, which are loaded with pigments. They are always first-degree burns and leave light marks on the skin that can be darkened by the sun once the treatment is over.

Up to today in the whole worldwide literature, sequelae have never been reported after a burn caused by a class IV medical laser. However, only a laserist is used to treating such lesions. So, if you get burnt, come and see us immediately.
